Abstract

A dual band symmetrical UWB-RFID transceiver for high capacity wireless NV-Memory applications is reported. The circuit exhibits a figure of merit of 58 pJ/b and 48 pJ/b in Tx and Rx respectively, with a 112.5 Mb/s data rate capability. It operates in the 7.9 GHz UWB frequency band for full duplex communication and is remotely powered through a UHF CW signal. The circuit has been implemented in a 0.13 μm 1.2 V CMOS process.
